Is it safe?

With the reopening of playgrounds and splash pads, and the warm weather of summer here, parents and caregivers may wonder if it’s safe for them and their children to visit playgrounds or splash pads.

The New York Times noted that outdoor spaces are safer than being indoors when around other people. However, visiting a playground filled with children and their families isn’t ideal. The newspaper cites Massachusetts state guidelines, which say playground operators should limit capacity, or if unstaffed, families should seek out a less crowded facility. Sunlight could help to lower the amount of virus on a surface, but whether or not that’s true for playgrounds is unknown, the Times article said.
